The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has announced the dissolution of the all the party structures in Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states.
This was made known at the ongoing National Convention of the party which commenced on Saturday in Ibadan Oyo State.
The move reportedly followed a motion by the host governor, Seyi Makinde, who urged the convention to ratify executive committees elected in states and zones where congresses had been successfully concluded.
Makinde noted that both the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Working Committee (NWC) had earlier endorsed the conduct of the congresses held between 2024 and 2025 with the officers who emerged at the congresses acknowledged.
While describing the process as free, fair, and credible, Makinde said the situation in Imo, Enugu, Akwa-Ibom, Abia, and Rivers states was significantly different as they were disrupted.
He thereafter announced the dissolution of the party structures in the affected states.
“In the case of Imo, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers, the Convention hereby dissolves all party structures at the ward, local government, and state levels.
“The Convention has authorized the publication of this decision to serve as official notice to the public,” Makinde declared.
The motion received additional procedural support from the National Auditor and NWC member, Daniel Obiechina Okechukwu, clearing the path for its formal adoption.
